Laredo Attorney Handling Methamphetamine Possession and Trafficking Charges
Methamphetamine is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in Texas, meaning it is considered highly addictive with no accepted medical use. Penalties for meth-related charges can be severe:
- State Jail Felony: Even possession of a small amount can result in a minimum six-month sentence and hefty fines.
- Drug Trafficking: Larger quantities or intent to distribute can result in charges with a potential sentence of up to 99 years in prison.
As with other felony drug charges, meth cases typically begin with an indictment by a Grand Jury. A trial date will be set, and the defense will begin to prepare. In some instances, drugs may have been seized due to illegal searches, violating your Fourth Amendment rights. In such cases, a skilled attorney may file a Motion to Suppress, aiming to exclude unlawfully obtained evidence. Successful suppression could lead to a dismissal of charges. If dismissal isn't possible and plea negotiations don't resolve the case, it will go to trial. The prosecution must prove that you knowingly possessed or intended to distribute the narcotics, with the jury deciding the verdict and the judge handling sentencing.
